A fascinating look at the last, tragic Russian monarchs; the kindly, indecisive Czar Nicholas and his reclusive, fear-haunted Czarina. The story follows their problems from the onset through the introduction of Rasputin to the Russian Court, to the Czar's abdication and the family's execution at Ekaterinburg on July 16, 1918.

Michael Jayston, Janet Suzman, Roderic Noble, Laurence Olivier, Michael Redgrave, Alexander Knox, Curd Jürgens

Zita Short

This is a sad, sad true story and while this biopic does take some liberties in telling this story it makes its points effectively.

The saddest failure though is Schaffner's inability to find a real centre for the film, and so achieve the kind of precarious constellation of forces that has formed round his protagonists in the past.

Opulent and well-acted, although fidelity to history is occasionally frayed.

TV Guide

While it remains a treat for the eyes, Nicholas and Alexandra suffers from the filmmakers' attempts to tell too much.
